THE TOWN OF LINCOLN.
Why and How the Name Lincoln
Was Selected.

The origin of the name selected by DR..
l.. A. Falligant for mis- new town fronting
on the Little Ogeeehee river has occa-
stoned considerable curiosity in this COM
muuity. The doctor is something Of
an operator in real estate, and it was sup
posed selected the name after careful con-
sideratioD. A MORNING NEWS man,
bearing that County Engineer Thomas,
who has ON hand the work Of laying off
the blocks and streets in the new town,
bad spoken highly OF its location, asked
the doctor for the facts concerning the
name.
Toe doctor replied that the name Of
Lincoln is interviewer with the history of
Savannah during the eventful period of
the Revolutionary war, and he had this
fact greatly in mind in selecting the name
OF the new town. Lincoln street in this
city was named after Lincoln, "and,"
said the doctor, 81 have paid him the still
higher compliment of giving his name to
what is capable of being made one of the
most beautiful salt water resorts on our
coast, and which Is directly connected
with our own city by charming drive.
| am very well aware that mOsS people of
our day. forgetful of the glorious direct
association of the name with the older
history OF the city, will connect it with
JudL vi AuTdUHH IlHcOlH, Inc luuI LyIeU
President; and | certainly do not think
such association will do my town any
dlshonor. Mr.. Liacoln was man OF
sound practical sense, heroic mold, and
possessed OF a kind and gentle heart.
The world at large rejoices in doing him
honor, and had he lived long enough to
| carry out his beneficent purposes toward
| the people of the South at the close of the
war, it is quite probable that even this
pln foIn ifa-
| community of Savannah would have
emulated other sections in showering
praise on his head.
you may say that whilst / paid q
direct compliment to our own local his
torfc character, was not unconscious or
ashamed of the fact that many of our
people would likewise consider 1t a COM
pliment to the author of the emancipa-
ton proclamation, since out Of that great
conflict the Saxon race Of the South nave
emerged freezer and more unfettered than
when they held the blacks in bondage"

THE LUSCIOUS STRAWBERRY.
The "Patches" Ground the City
Promising a Big Yield.

There was scarcity of the luscious
strawberry in the market yesterday.
Only few baskets were brought In.
These sold quickly at 25c. The season
for Florida berries Will soon be over.
The fields around the city are looking
finely and "pickiug" Will begin this
week. Mr.. Jacob Gardner, the Bull
street fruit man, has visited the princi-
pal fields, and he says that
the prospects are good for large yield
The season is fully month earlier than
it was last year, Picking for the market
does not usually begin here until April.
The bulk of the strawberry crop comes
from the fields south OF the city on the
White Bluff road. The berries there are
looking fine. Mr.. Bliss, we'll
known grower, has an acre and half OF
vines in excellent condition, and other
growers also report fine crops.
Fifteen acres will probably cover the
entire area of strawberry fields around
Savannah, and over one-half of these are
On the White Bluff road. BY Saturday
the market will probably be supplied
with homegrown berries. The price at
the first will probably be 25c., but 1t usual
ly drops considerably below that.
Florida is having great season for
stra wberrles. Jacksonville reports say
mat the shipments last week exceeded
anything that has ever been known. over
70,CO0 quarts were shipped North last
week from jacksonville, making daily
average OF something over 10000 quarts.
The fruit has been bringing from zoe. to
Doc. per quart, which Is good average
price, ana nets the shippers Tor the weeks
work about 1880, Other points in
Florida are shipping largely. Law
tey has been shipping from 5000
to 5000 quarts d day, and other places
report equally large shipments. The
season, however, will soon be over. and
so far as Savannah Is concerned the home
market will nave it's own supply,
Other crops are looking finely. Beans,
cucumbers and potatoes are up, peas are
'filling," and the yield promises to be
large. Pear trees are Setting" and the
outlook for fruits and vegetables general
ly is very promising.

Around the Bases.

In Saturdays game at New Orleans
Sutclitfe was five times at the bat, scored
two runs, made four base hits, with total
Ofseven bases, put out seven men and did
not make single error.
The Times Democrat says that the d.
rectory and manager of the New Orleans
club can congratulate themselves on
having secured tirst-class team for New
Orleans in the Southern League. The
members of the nine are heavy batters,
good fielders and base runners, and the
batteries are well up 10 their different
positions.
The following is the Mobile nine CON-
plete: j. M. Kelly, manager; Al Hung
Ter. Joe Masaron, P. II. Kelly, p; Geo.
Miller, W. A. Long, Geo. w. McVay, c.;
in and outfield-Jas. Behan, ID; VIM.

One of the pitchers will be used In centre
field when hot pitching.
weighing, the young Louisvillian, who
pitched for Cha lesion last season. is eX-
peoted to join the Phillles here. The
Louisville Courier-J ournal says that he
has been practicing for month and Is In
good form. Joe Crotty, who has been
practicing with weighing, says that the
latter will be one of the best pitchers in
the league this year, as he has good com.
mand of the ball and plenty of speed.
The New Orleans nine again met the
DesMoines Saturday and again took the
victors into camp. With such smuggling
as the New Orleans nine did, the Picayune
says, it could come near beating any
team. The New Orleans boys made fir
teen clean hits, OF which two were home
| runs, one three-base hit and four double
baggers. Whitley started to pitch for
DesMoines and pitched hard. The strain
| told on him, and he hurt his arm, retiring
| after a few innings, but not before Geiss
| had pounded him for home run. Then
Van Dyke went into the box and was hit
hard, the hits being punched, making
them valuable to the local organization.
| Pujol was put into the box TOR New Or
| leans in order to give the visitors a
chance. The Des Moines kept the local
players busy chasing the ball, but they
we're equal TO the occasion. They made
some fine plays, notably double play in
which Short Stop Fuller chased base
hit. bowled the ball with his hand into
Cess reach, and the second baseman
sent it to first without delay. A few
errors at critical points, however, gave
the Des Moines big lead, and at the end
OF the SIXTH inning the score stood to L
in favor of the visitors. Sutclitfe caught
a great game and also led the slugging.
